Together Forever:
Chapter 4: Touch Me And You Die
"No," Piper said, glaring at him.
"Tired?"
"Not in the least."
"Too bad." The man grabbed a small velvet bag from his pocket. "Well, you will be now," he said, throwing some sleeping dust on Piper, causing her to fall asleep immediately.
O.O
Paige looked over at the clock. 'It's midnight. I should be sleeping. But I have this bad feeling that something's wrong at home.'
She sighed and got out of bed, walking over to Phoebe's bed and sitting on it, starting to shake her older sister.
Phoebe opened her eyes and looked up at Paige. "Paige, it's the middle of the night. What do you want?"
"I just have this really bad feeling that something's wrong back home. And I don't know why. And I can't shake it," Paige said, laying down next to Phoebe.
Phoebe looked sideways at her baby sister. "Paige, I'm sure it's nothing. I mean, they told us that they would orb here if something was wrong."
Paige sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Then she got off Phoebe's bed and walked over to her own, sitting down. "Yeah. I guess you're right. But, I could be right too. I've gotten bad feelings before and they always proved to be something."
Phoebe nodded. "But can we worry about it in the morning? I'm just too tired to think about anything right now."
Paige nodded and started to get into bed.
"Hey. Come sleep over here. This bed's big enough for two," Phoebe said, scooting over.
Paige smiled and laid down next to Phoebe again. "But, in the morning, we're calling them."
O.O
Leo opened his eyes and looked over at the spot that Piper was supposed to be sleeping in. He sighed sadly and got out of bed just as the phone started to ring.
"They'll call back in a minute," Leo said to himself, getting dressed as the phone stopped ringing. He looked over at the clock. "Great. It's already ten o'clock."
Leo ran down the stairs and reached the hall just as the phone started to ring again. He picked it up quickly.
"Leo?" a voice said from the other end of the line.
Leo was confused. "Yeah. Who's this?"
"I've got your wife, Leo, and I don't plan on giving her back," the voice said.
O.O
"Leo, don't fall for any tricks!" Piper yelled, only a few feet away from the man.
"Shut up, witch," the man said, backhanding her.
O.O
As soon as Leo heard the sound of skin hitting skin, he started to get really pissed. "I swear, if you touch her again, you'll wish that you never messed with my wife," Leo whispered in a low, dangerous voice.
The man chuckled. "Right, Leo. Guess what? I'm going to touch your wife as much as I want, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. And I'm not just talking about hurting her. I'm talking about - Ow!"
Leo could hear Piper chuckle from the background. "Not so touch and mighty when someone kicks in in the balls, are ya?" she said from the background.
Then Leo heard a thud, then the sound of the phone hitting the pavement.
"That guy is so idiotic. He's knocked out so easily," came Piper's voice from close by.
O.O
"Okay, um, how to get the phone," Piper thought out loud, knowing that Leo could hear her every word. "Yeah, Leo, I know that you can hear me, but, guess what? I can't hear you. So, now I have to think of a way to either get down from her or get the phone up to me, because I'm chained to the wall. And let me tell you now, my wrists are killing me! I would say a simple spell, but demon-boy took away my power to cast spells. Yeah. I got out of these chains before by casting a spell, and he wasn't too happy about it. Okay, I'm rambling aren't I? Well, I have a good reason. I'm scared out of my mind!"
O.O
Leo sighed. "Okay, if I yell, she can hear me, but the whole neighborhood will become suspicious."
O.O
Piper then pulled the chains as hard as she could outward until, tada!, they broke from the wall. She quickly grabbed the phone.
O.O
"Piper?" Leo asked after hearing her struggling with something.
"Okay. I'm here now," Piper said, sounding out of breath.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked, already knowing the answer.
"Peachy," Piper said dryly.
"Where are you?"
"Uh . . . I don't exactly know. I know that it's not that far from P3, though. Actually, maybe it is. I don't really know. I was knocked out half the time and blind folded the rest of the time."
"Are there any windows there?" Leo asked, grabbing Phoebe's keys and heading out the door.
O.O
Piper looked around, only seeing boarded up windows. "Yeah. But they're boarded up."
"Can you see through any of them?"
Piper looked around again and sighed. She started to get teary eyed, and it was evident in her voice. "No. I can't."
"Piper, calm down. Everything will be okay. I promise."
"How can you promise that, Leo?! I'm dying in here! And this man is the biggest pervert I've ever met! And I'm so scared that I'm going out of my mind! My powers aren't working, and there's no way out of here, and I feel like he's going to kill me at any second! He has a knife and a gun!"
"Piper, calm down. Just keep your voice down or you're going to wake him up."
"Damn it. Too late," Piper said, backing up as the man started to walk towards her.
"Witch, you're driving me to do what I don't want to do," the man said, grabbing a potion from his pocket.
"And what is that?" Piper asked, backing herself into a corner.
"Kill you. But, don't worry. I won't do that quite yet," he said, throwing the potion at her.
Piper fell to the ground, also dropping the phone, not able to move anything but her mouth and her eyes.
"What the hell did you do to me?!" she screamed, looking up at the man, who was now standing in front of her.
"I just made it so you were paralyzed. It makes this so much easier," he said, grabbing her and starting to take her clothes off.
"No. No, please! Don't! Please!" she screamed, starting to crying.
O.O
"Piper?! Piper, what's going on?! Piper, answer me!" Leo yelled, starting to panic.
"Bye bye, whitelighter," came the man's voice before Leo heard the dial tone.
O.O
"So, what you're saying is that when you called the house this morning, no one answered?" Paige asked as her and Phoebe walked out towards the beach in their swimsuits.
"That's what I'm saying," Phoebe said, wrapping her towel around her waist.
"Well, what time was it there?" Paige asked, setting down their stuff in the sand.
"About ten. No worries. They were probably sleeping in. Or out. Or," she smiled and looked over at Paige, "you know . . ."
"How can you smile about that?! That's disgusting!" Paige said, looking grossed out as she put on her sunglasses. "And, besides, what if they weren't doing those things?"
"Paige -"
"No, I'm serious! I have a really bad feeling, Phoebe. And it's not going to go away until I know that Piper and Leo are safe, and that nothing's going on," Paige said, laying down on her towel.
"Then just orb there," Phoebe said, putting her sunglasses on.
"That's just it! I tried! But I couldn't! It's like my powers are blocked or something!" Paige said, sitting up as she started to panic.
"Wait. So are mine," Phoebe said, sitting down next to Paige.
"That's not a good sign," Paige said, standing up.
"Paige, Piper just probably temporarily blocked our powers so we couldn't go home to check up on her or Leo," Phoebe said, pulling her down.
"Well, can't you at least get Cole to check up on them?" Paige asked, standing up again.
"No. No, I can't get Cole to check up on them! I'm taking this vacation to get away from Cole, too. Not just all the excitement in San Francisco," Phoebe said, laying down. "Just relax and stop worrying so much."
Paige sighed in defeat and laid back down at her towel. "Okay. I guess I can try."
"Good. Because you're driving me insane," Phoebe said, smiling over at Paige.
O.O.O.O.O
